2024 in review: Largest new yachts for charter

In a year that saw some outstanding developments for future builds, including the launch of superyacht BREAKTHROUGH (the world’s first hydrogen-powered superyacht), 2024 has been an exciting year for the yachting industry.

Many new luxury yacht rentals joined the fleet this year with impressive amenities, new levels of indulgence, and outstanding craftsmanship. Standing out as the biggest new additions for 2024, here are some of the largest new charter yachts from the past 12 months. 

Joining the fleet of Lurssen yachts for charter, 400.3ft (122m) super yacht charter KISMET has been the longest new addition to the global yacht charter class of 2024, with design inputs from Nuvolari Lenard on her exteriors and interiors penned by Reymond Langton Design.

Currently sat at rank 49 in the YB100, the most accurate way to measure the world's biggest yachts, superyacht charter KISMET made headlines in 2024 with her title of being the longest charter yacht to ever attend the Monaco Yacht Show, and the largest superyacht to visit London in over a decade.

From the same shipyard that presented 511.10ft (156m) superyacht DILBAR and 414ft (126.2m) motor yacht OCTOPUS, KISMET was a true showstopper in 2024. As one of the largest yachts for charter on the market, she has an abundance of onboard amenities to keep all charter guests entertained throughout the day and night.

Some of her key highlights include an indulgent interior cinema, a premium spa-quality health and wellness area including a hammam, massage room, sauna, steam room, and more, plus a swimming pool, an elevator, and a dancefloor.

Available for Bahamas yacht charters throughout the winter 2024/2025 season, 249.4ft (76m) super yacht rental ALVIA joined the Feadship yacht charter fleet this year, with plenty of onboard entertainment, and plenty of deck space for relaxing, socializing, and making the most of the surrounding views.

Hosting everything needed for an invigorating watersports yacht charter, charter yacht ALVIA features an RYA water sports center and a fully stocked toy box including SEABOBs, wave runners, paddleboards, foil boards, a waterslide and lots more.

Sat comfortably within the top 10 largest Feadship charter yachts alongside 265.9ft (81m) luxury yacht charter AIR, yacht rental ALVIA can accommodate up to 12 charter guests in a seven-cabin layout with her amenities including a state-of-the-art cinema, premium wellness facilities, and a spacious beach club. 

An elegant addition to the lineup of Benetti charter yachts, 219.10ft (67.01m) yacht rental LADY A is an ideal choice for family yacht charters, offering an elevator for convenient access to all decks and multiple alfresco lounge and dining options.

With an impressive range of 5,000 nautical miles, she is well-suited to island-hopping during Caribbean or Exumas yacht charters, with plenty of water toys on standby including Jet Skis, SEABOBs, waterskis, paddleboards, and more. 

As one of the biggest Benetti yachts for charter, LADY A promises exceptional onboard experiences with her list of premium amenities including a spa, a spacious beach club, an indulgent sun deck, a deck Jacuzzi, and Wi-Fi connectivity. 

Offering a great opportunity to charter a brand new expedition yacht charter this year, 196.10ft (60m) luxury yacht rental SATEMI has been designed for waterfront living and provides an indulgent environment to enjoy sunkissed charter destinations in optimal comfort.

Featuring designs by Espen Oeino and Studio Indigo, yacht rental SATEMI is the third Amels 60 yacht charter on the market, following yacht rental COME TOGETHER and superyacht charter ENTOURAGE.

Boasting an enticing list of onboard amenities and facilities, charter guests onboard the Amels charter yacht can expect to find a relaxing beach club and deck Jacuzzi, an exterior bar, Wi-Fi connectivity, and air conditioning.

Boasting streamlined aesthetics and a bursting toy box full of the latest watersports equipment, 180.5ft (55m) super yacht charter ARGO joined the fleet of Custom yachts for charter in 2024 and offers a versatile accommodation layout for up to 26 sleeping charter guests.

Offering incredible value for money with a higher capacity, this motor yacht charter has an inviting pool and spacious exteriors for enjoying spectacular views throughout Montenegro and Croatia yacht charters.

Also on board, charter guests can relax in the spacious beach club, soak up the sun in the deck Jacuzzi, and see the latest blockbusters in the convertible cinema.
